Together with her father, who had quit his salaryman job, Toyokawa Himeno moves to Gifu prefecture's Tajimi city. That's the city where her mother is from, whom she had lost when she was still young. Himeno is now attending her mother's alma mater, where her classmate Kukuri Mika invites her to tag along to a special place. That place turns out to be the pottery club! There, she learns for the first time that her mother was a legendary potter, and is consequently pulled into the world of pottery.

25 episodes

The four voice actresses go to Let's Make a Mug Too's stage, Gifu prefectures Tajimi City. While strolling through the town where Himeno lives, they talk about their memories with their own fathers.

The first hands-on pottery experience in Tajimi is to make mugs. Not used to the electric pottery wheel, they struggle, but in the end produce pieces sparkling with personality.

Tiles are also a Tajimi specialty. Accessories are also made with these tiles. The four quietly focus on the detail work that reveals their individual character traits.

Our group of four visit a high school pottery club and are in awe of the works that the students have made. They also share stories from their time in school. At the end, they encounter the works of a living national treasure.

A trip to the museum reveals a variety of mosaic art, followed up by a traditional Japanese candy store with colorful treats and fun photo opportunities!

The four girls discuss weddings while enjoying the autumn leaves at the national treasure, Eihouji. Then, they relax at a cafe beloved by the people of Gifu.

Using the "hand-building" technique, the girls attempt to make freestyle flatware. While they all feel the difficulties of making pottery, their individual personalities are clearly reflected in their creations.

The big ceramic kappa that surprised Himeno, shaved ice made from spring water, sparklers. Fully enjoying the hot Tajimi summer while wearing yukata.

We eat our way through Tajimi's gourmet dishes! Soul food "gohei mochi". Incredible udon at a "shinise" business. And then the long awaited eel bowl!

Today the plates that were made with the hand-building technique are being painted! While Tanaka, Wakai, Honizumi are making steady progress, Serizawa is still agonizing. How will the plates turn out?

The four make curry! The curry made with the best Gifu prefecture ingredients are plated on the finished plates. Not having a lot of cooking experience, Tanaka has a bit of a mishap!

Reminiscing while enjoying the homemade curry. What was the thing in Tajimi, the city with the hot temperatures and warm hearts, that left the biggest impression on our four ladies?
